Daffy and Diuk sniffed out about 130 pounds of marijuana on Tuesday in a local shipping company’s warehouse. The drug stash is worth about $75,000 on the street.

If Valdez get a nice big forfeiture case out of this one, that’s more money she can use to fund her canine unit since commissioners have decided not to chip in any money.

Check out the details of the bust on the jump.
From Kim Leach, the sheriff’s spokeswoman:

“Daffy and Diuk alerted handlers to a pallet on the floor that contained seven boxes. Detectives opened one of them and found more boxes with picture frames along with a plastic wrapped bundle containing an unknown substance.

“After cutting a small slit into the black plastic, detectives noticed a green leafy substance with a strong odor believed to be marijuana.

“The remaining six boxes were searched and detectives uncovered 10 more similar bundles mixed in with the picture frames. Each bundle weighed between 11 and 12 pounds. The total weight of all the bundles of marijuana measured 129 pounds.

“No arrests have been made yet and the investigation is still ongoing, but this latest find by the Sheriff Department’s K-9 Unit prove the program is paying off. Keeping drugs out of Dallas County and making our communities safer is one of the primary missions of the Dallas County Sheriff’s Department.”
